creating a for loop with a mixture of strings and numbers as outputs

I want to create a for loop that will have the following output:

"trial1.csv" on its first run, "trial2.csv" on its second run, "trial3.csv" on its third run......etc. What is the most efficient way of doing that?

trial1 = sprintf ('max%d', k) which gives me the trialk piece but I was not able to add the .csv piece. It gave me an error every time I tried adding it in different ways. I found a work around but needed 3 lines of code instead of 1. It works but doesn't seem to efficient.

I am still learning matlab so I am sure its a simple problem

Thanks in advance!

Does this do what you want:

sprintf('max%d.csv', k)

In general, you can use concatenation brackets [ ] to join strings together. E.g., this would produce the same result:

[sprintf('max%d', k) '.csv']
